NMES PhD Studentship – Inhomogeneous out-of-equilibrium many-body quantum systems: theory, applications, and experimental validation
Summary Table:
- Subject Areas: Mathematics, Physics
- Funding Type: Study Costs, Bench Fees / Research Training & Support Grant
- Duration: 3.5 years
- Start Date: 2024/25 academic year
- Supervisors: Dr. Paola Ruggiero, Prof Benjamin Doyon
Study Area: This PhD studentship delves into the complex realm of inhomogeneous out-of-equilibrium many-body quantum systems, bridging the gap between theory, applications, and experimental validation in mathematics and physics.
Scholarship Description: The project focuses on the challenges posed by quantum systems with numerous particles, especially when spatial homogeneity and time-independence assumptions are broken. Exploring new theories such as generalized hydrodynamics, inhomogeneous time-dependent Luttinger Liquid approaches, and ballistic fluctuation theory, the aim is to uncover a common mathematical structure and provide analytical predictions for previously inaccessible quantities. The research also involves understanding the interplay between different approaches and comparing theoretical results with measurements in cold atoms experiments.
Eligibility Criteria: Applicants should possess a 2:1 or first-class undergraduate degree, or an MMath, MSci, or Master’s degree with Merit and high grades in modules related to the research area. Both home and overseas students are encouraged to apply.
Required Documents: Interested candidates must apply via the King’s Apply online application system for “Applied Mathematics Research: Disordered Systems/Financial Mathematics/Probability MPhil/PhD.” Indicate Dr. Paola Ruggiero as your desired supervisor, Disordered Systems as your preferred research group, and the project title in your application and all correspondence.
How to Apply: Follow the detailed application process outlined in the guide on applying for a Mathematics PhD at King’s, available here.
